alt.country/roots rock/americana
USA
Autor: Branimir Lokner

Iz San Francisca dolazi poznati svetski putnik, singer/songwriter – Forest Sun. Njegova karijera traje u kontinuitetu godinama, a nedavno je održao turneju po evropskim gradovima. Aktuelno albumsko ostvarenje zove se “Just Begun”, i reč je o CD-u na kojem se našlo 12 songova, realizovanih u alt. country/roots/americana stilu. Forest Sun je pevač prijatne boje glasa, njegove pesme urađene su uglavnom u srednjem tempu, bez nekih izraženijih ritmičkih prelaza, ili ikakvih drugih aranžmanskih “turbulencija”. Nažalost upada u manirističke klišeje i pesmu mu liče kao jaje jajetu, i kad čujete nekoliko taktova, već vam je otprilike jasno šta sledi. I pored veoma dobre produkcije, i sasvim zadovoljavajućeg muziciranja pratećeg sastava, “Just Begun” jednostavno ne spada u ona izdanja kojima ćete se vraćati. Može on to mnogo bolje, i u njegovoj dosadašnjoj diskografiji bilo je značajnijih i interesantnijih iskoraka.

Ocena: 6 / 10

San Francisco based road warrior and singer/songwriter Forest Sun is constantly active on national indie/americana scene. He has also toured in Europe, and his concert experience is undoubtelly huge. “Just Began” is his actuelle album with 12 tracks in, done in alt.country/folkie/ roots/americana mood. He is certain and pleasent singer, and most of present songs are done in slower mid tempo, without unexpecting rhythm changes. Even of solid performings and technically well realazing job, most of the materials suffers of manniristical problems. Everything is more or less recognazible , and even of quiet good productional work, missings of performing energy, characterized practically each track from album. “Just Began” simply isn’ t a better album realesed from Forest Sun kitchen.
